Children growing up in historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities lack access to a broad spectrum of resources and opportunities, and attend schools that are not equipped to meet their needs. To address this, TFA's mission is to find, develop and support exceptional leaders to teach the nation's most underserved students. TFA does this by finding promising leaders; developing and cultivating the leadership skills and mindsets necessary for systems change through classroom teaching; engaging the individual and collective impact of those in the TFA network throughout their lifetime; and growing the organization by learning new capabilities to enable a path for transformative change.
